What Is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling, or radiofrequency microneedling, is a skin renewal treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal layers. This dual-action approach triggers your body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production—two key proteins responsible for youthful skin structure.
RF Microneedling is effective in treating:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and textural irregularities
- Enlarged pores
- Early jowling or loss of facial definition
- Uneven skin tone and dullness
For even more regenerative power, this treatment is often paired with Exosome Therapy or PRP Facial Rejuvenation, both of which enhance cellular repair and speed up recovery.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
- Non-surgical skin tightening
- Minimal downtime compared to traditional resurfacing
- Customizable depth and intensity for different skin concerns
- Safe for most skin tones and types
- Long-lasting collagen stimulation
- Effective on the face, neck, and body
RF Microneedling fits seamlessly into long-term skin maintenance routines and can be combined with Botox for cosmetic use, dermal fillers, or facial balancing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Are these services optional or part of a larger plan?
Some clients use these therapies independently, while others include them in a broader strategy for facial or body enhancement. We’ll help you determine how these options can best serve your goals.
How do vitamin injections differ from oral supplements?
Injectable vitamins bypass the digestive system, allowing for significantly higher absorption and faster results. This is particularly useful for clients with chronic fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, or those undergoing body or skin treatments.
Will I need downtime after RF Skin Rejuvenation?
No. Radiofrequency treatments are completely non-invasive, with no recovery time required. Many clients receive them during a lunch break and return to normal activities immediately.
How many sessions are recommended for Kybella?
Most clients require 2–4 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal submental fat reduction. We’ll assess your facial structure and fat distribution during your consultation.
Is Computer Skin Analysis necessary?
While not required, skin analysis helps us identify underlying issues and create a personalized treatment roadmap. It’s especially helpful when planning medical-grade skincare or evaluating progress after laser or PRP treatments.
